NOW can stuff it where the sun don't shine. She's a Forest Ranger, for God's sake, and she started the biggest fire in the history of Colorado. She should go to jail until she dies of old age, and every penny she has should be taken away from her.

In advance, even before the p*ssing and moaning of her lawyers begin, I reject that, too. And if NOW is implying that women are too unstable to hold responsible positions, let them advance the theory that the "poor dears" should be kept out of such jobs.

Otherwise let's have the standard of "equal pay for equal jobs" extended to criminal responsibility. Let's call it "equal punishment for equal crimes." That would be in accord with the priciples of NOW -- if they had any principles.

FWIW, I think it's probably the biggest fire since Colorado became a state. There's a story from the 1850s about a fire that stretched from Cheyenne Mountain, around Pikes Peak, and all the way to Wilkerson pass, that burned all summer long -- a much bigger fire, which suggestst that perhaps it's a bit arrogant for humans to take the full blame for causing bad burns in the first place.
